I disagree with everything you have just posted.
To accuse the BC government of 'not learning' and loosely implying of them doing nothing is laughable.

Really? You don’t believe that we have lost grasslands due to forest creep?
You don’t believe that forest densities have increased since fire suppression started?
You don’t believe that when fires do occur these days that instead of low intensity surface creep fires we experience high intensity crown fires due to an excess build up of fuel?
The pine beetle has actually been an indirect correction in pine densities to some degree (though it has been largely absent in the Okanagan)
And yes, I do call the BC government irresponsible in its forest management, and not just concerning controlled burns.
